If you're not a fan of hockey it's hard to follow. Non-fans also don't appreciate the skill and talent it takes(which is more compared to the other sports listed). It's kind of like golf. If you don't play, if you don't understand it you can't watch it or appreciate it. I can't play that damn sport, I don't know how Jeff doesn't it every week.  Then again with my retarded body I can't play much of anything nowadays. /facepalm |
I played hockey for like 10 years, till all my gear got stolen and i pretty much tore my knee in half, i kinda just lost the motivation. You also start to realize after a while that you just dont "have it" and your not goin anywhere... but i guess thats why i am and can be a hockey fan lol. Its just the ultimate sport to me... combines mental toughness, physical toughness, long history, non stop action and long term strategy, and fierce player v player and team vs team rivalries. Way more exciting than any of the other sports to me!!
